Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has shared her heartbreak with fans as she copes with losing her newborn daughter Lorena, who died tragically last month a few minutes after being born.
While trying for an at home water birth for her second child Lauren, 35, whose waters broke on July 6th, was advised to remain at home. During routine checks 2 days later, her midwife Tamzin could not detect a heartbeat and Lauren was rushed to hospital. She delivered the baby Lorena who was said to have a low heartbeat. Minutes after the birth, doctors rushed in to give chest compressions and adrenaline. But sadly it was too late.
“They think her oxygen may have been restricted because she had two knots in her cord but normally babies can still get enough oxygen despite this,” Lauren explained.
“This has been the most traumatic experience of my life. Since Lorena passed away, I have had so many messages from other women who have gone through this too. I want to talk about her death to help other parents out there going through this. I want them to know they aren’t alone.”
Lauren put on a brave face for eldest daughter Larose’s first birthday a week later. She asked the press to respect her privacy and is requesting an autopsy to discover the exact cause of death.
